"Gravity isn't exactly very well-understood, unlike evolution."

And yet, you've only been taught one theory.

Not long ago Newton's law of gravitation was considered proven. Even then, students were also taught about Aristotle's theory as a counter-example.

Is the matter now settled? Perhaps not -- maybe the holographic principle will show it's all an illusion. We should always be open to new possibilities.

What other theories are there?

How was it proven? Provide the proof used to support the claim of it being proven. And how does that relate to scientific theories, which are different than laws?

Even then, students were also taught about Aristotle's theory as a counter-example.

Yeah, as an example of what happens when you start making up crap without actually doing any testing.

Or are you suggesting that ID be taught in that context?
